Order Only

Well that was utterly ghastly.

I think my favourite bit was listening to Sarah Yaxley's eulogy for Teddy Nott. I suppose he DID have an interest in animals, a curiosity about the natural world, and a single-minded devotion to Our Lord's ideals from the earliest possible age, come to think of it. The bit about his single-minded devotion to purity (which he would stop at nothing to defend) was also ... possibly accurate.

My least favourite was how awful Siz looks. She looks ... like something glass that got dropped on a flagstone floor, I think.

I wish they'd done them separately because grieving for the Headmistress and Raz (I know! you didn't like him for good reason! but some of us did!) and pretending to grieve for Teddy and the acknowledgement of Corax Mulciber altogether was just

I don't know

Is there going to be an Order memorial service for the Headmistress? Maybe in the summer, so we can all go?

Did Teddy really have Draco draw a Dark Mark on his arm, when we were firsties, so he could show it to the Lord Protector? Or did Sarah make that up?

[alt_pansy]

Oh, you don't remember? Draco drew one on his own arm too, and they both showed the Lord Protector when he came to visit.

[alt_ron]

Yeah, Pans is right.

And they were totally smug about it afterwards. Can't believe you don't remember that.

[alt_harry]

Yeah.

Well.

We all do daft things when we're eleven.

[alt_ron]

Yeah. Only some people just keep on doing them even when they get older. Shame Nott had to be one of those.

[alt_susan]

Truth! I wonder sometimes if we remember it more clearly than in the past, because of the journals. Or if they actually make things less clear.

Good on you, Harry, by the way, for thinking of the archives. So at least now the Ministry can't go fishing through and judging us by whatever we said back then.
